She opened up the show with a fun monologue where she talked about her pet donkeys, and poked fun at country&#8217;s biggest artists, as well as how long she&#8217;s been around.<\/p>\n<p>The performances were killer, too.\u00a0\u00a0<strong>Lainey Wilson<\/strong>\u00a0opened the show by singing\u00a0<strong><em>&#8220;God Bless Texas&#8221;<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0which everyone loved.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chris Stapleton<\/strong>\u00a0surprised everyone by bringing out\u00a0<strong>Dua Lipa<\/strong>\u00a0to sing with him.<\/p>\n<p>And the\u00a0<strong>Toby Keith<\/strong>\u00a0intro by\u00a0<strong>Blake Shelton<\/strong>, and song by\u00a0<strong>Jason Aldean<\/strong>, was a really nice tribute.<\/p>\n<p>Without a doubt, the best moment of the night,
